Scheduling The Legacy DTS 2000 Packages In Sql Server 2005?

Sep 12, 2007



Hi Experts

I am trying to schedule a legacy DTS 2000 package in 64 bit Sql Server 2005.

I cannot use the DTSRun tool on the Command prompt of the Sql 2005. What about dtexec ?Can i run Sql Server 2000 DTS packages from the Command Prompt.

Is DTS 2000 the only way to do that?

Any Advise is greatly appreciated

Vic.

Job Scheduling For Packages In SQL Server 2005

Aug 31, 2006

----------------------
MS Win XP Pro 2002 SP2
MS SQL Server 2005
MS Visual Studio 2005
----------------------

Can anyone help me (even by pointing me to a documentation) in order to schedule Packages (from file system source) in SQL Server 2005.

I've configured providers logging, but still the error file doesn't give me any explanation why the error happens:
"#Fields: event,computer,operator,source,sourceid,executionid,starttime,endtime,datacode,databytes,message
OnPreValidate,PC1234,NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM,D_AGR,{8A4FA774-F5F0-40DE-AB16-A93F27950E09},{8A918844-8E43-403D-A606-C8CB4B7D8238},31/08/2006 16:42:55,31/08/2006 16:42:55,0,0x,(null)"

I've also done the same on the Step properties under 'Logging'

In Management Studio I've added my login name and I'm the only user using the machine and I manage both Visual Studio and Management Studio

The error coming up on the job history is as follow: "Executed as user: PC1234SYSTEM. The package execution failed. The step failed." "The job failed. The Job was invoked by User UK1USER123. The last step to run was step 1 (step1)."

By the way the package (.dtsx) runs fine in BI Visual Studio)

Thank you very much.

Legacy DTS Packages

Oct 4, 2006

How can I scheudule a legacy DTS 2000 package if it stored in SQL Server itself?

I assume the package 'lives' in the msdb database.

For what bizarre reason is there no option to schedule legacy packages anyway, why provide the DTS legacy/designer components if the ability to schedule them isn't possible?

Is this microsoft's subtle way of telling me that I should convert them to SSIS packages ...I just don't have the time to do that...help

Thanks

Scheduling DTS Packages

Oct 9, 2000

I have seen lots of messages on scheduling DTS packages, but none have solved my specific problem.
I could manually run my local DTS package, but it wouldn't run when I scheduled it. The problem was with connecting using OLE DB provider. I checked everything: my NT account had all relevant permissions, as did the SQL Server agent account. I tried playing around with the job owner.

In the end, the only thing that worked was if I physically created the local DTS package on the Server rather than sitting at my workstation (still under my NT account though - I even logged on to the server with my NT account). The job then ran fine.

I think it is something to do with NT authentication (as I never got the problem before using NT auth). Can anyone shed any light on it? Is it something to do with the fact that with NT authentication the workstation ID is an advanced property of the OLE DB connection?

Help! Scheduling SSIS Packages

Oct 10, 2007

Hi all!
I just started a new job, and im a junior programmer, so have no idea about anything yet...
My boss asked me to run a SSIS package weekly. I found out that I can do it throught the SQLServer Agent job task. Am I right? As i'm not sure about it.

Well I configure it, first as a Transact-Sql with the cmdShell, and it gave me an error like I have to start the messenger Service, I cannot do it as i'm not as administrator. Any way to sort this problem out?

Another thing I could do, I guess is configure the job as a SQL Server Integration package, but it doesn't find my package. Should I save it in a special path??

Any help would be great! As I'm really lost in it, and I've been 3 days trying to sort it out, with no luck. My boss is expecting me to do it by tomorrow...


Oh... finally, I guess I should add a Execute sql job task in the SSIS package? I've already done it, but it may be wrong.

I'm going to be creating a few triggers on tables to add new records to a seperate table (AlertData).  Come 6pm or so I want a scheduled job to automaticaly run to make an HTTP wbe request to my SendAlerts.ASPX page.  The page will simply make a database call for all users and the AlertData table contents, build what it needs and send out all the email alerts.
My question is is how do i create such  a scheduled job under Sql Server 2000?  It should run everyday at 6pm EST (even if the dbase server is restarted)  and make an HTTP web request to my URL.

Scheduling SSIS Packages In SS2005

Feb 21, 2008


I'm trying to create a SQL Agent job and schedule that executes an SSIS Package, but when I try to run the job I get the following error:


Executed as user: adApp1. The package could not be loaded.

The App1 user is the Identity used in the Credential for the Proxy which has the SSIS Packages Subsystem.
The package encryption is set EncryptAllWithPassword and that password is included in the Command line with the /DECRYPT option.
The package is stored on the server in the SSIS Package Store and was placed there via the Import package option. Does the method matter?

One thing that I haven't been able to track down is exactly what permissions the domain account adApp1 needs on the server or in SQL Server, if any, in order to run the package. Not sure if that has any affect anyway.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Scheduling Tasks In SQL Server 2000

Nov 9, 2006

Hi all

I want to schedule a task that checks if a file(s) exists on d:Acc and then run the sql script shown below i.e. with the file(s) to load the content of the file(s) every day new files will be loaded. after the file(s) are loaded the file(s) are deleted.

I currently can achieve the above using Java and sql server and running the program as a scheduled task... (only reason for change would be that i wouldnt require java, JDBC etc to run the software it would be easy manage, migrate etc)

I wanted to find out if it can be done with sql server directly? (i.e. check if file exist and ased on that carryout the task or other wise just ignore) What do i need to look for? does sql server have a procedural language in it to be used for such thing? does sql server have an inbuilt task scheduler?

I am currently using the following script in a java program please note that i have used fixed values in this script for readabliity (of what i am doing)..



@bulk_cmd varchar(1000)
SET @bulk_cmd = 'BULK INSERT AccInv..VW_AccInvoice
FROM ''d:Invbatch2001.txt''
WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = '','', ROWTERMINATOR = '''+CHAR(10)+''')'

Scheduling A Job Containing A DTS Package On Sql Server 2000

Jul 20, 2005

I've tried several different possibilities but don't have enough basicunderstanding of the ownerships and permissions that are involved soI'm looking for someone to explain what is required:I created a DTS package that includes a drop table, create table, anddata transformation task. Originally, my owner was local to the pcworkstation with administrator priveleges. When I executed thepackage on demand (manually, not scheduled), it runs just fine. Noerrors. When I schedule the package to run at a scheduled day/time,it fails with an access is denied message.I originally was using the sql admin user and password in theconnection but the view job history kept referencing "Executed asuser: sqlservernameSYSTEM...." and errored with an access is deniedmessage. Where did it get the SYSTEM user from since my connectionused the sql admin user in my DTS package? Do I need to determine howto get the sql admin user or should the SYSTEM user really have to runthis scheduled job? How do I get the sql admin user to show as the"executed as user"?I created another admin user to see if it had someone to do with thesql admin account but I got similar results. I tried creating thepackage as an NT domain user but got similar results.I'm sure it has something to do with permissions and ownerships but Ireally don't have a clear understanding of how it was intended towork.Any advise you can give is greatly appreciated. I've read alot ofpostings and I'm still not clear on the requirements.

MIgrating DTS Packages Of SQL 2000 To SQL 2005

Jan 5, 2007

Hello All,

I am working on a migration project of my database(lets name it DB1), from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. I have some DTS packages in my SQL 2000 database which also needs to be migrated to SSIS. These DTS packages currently interacts with other database(lets name it DB2) which is also in SQL 2000 and which does the data transmission. The real issue is that the other database(DB2) also has some DTS packages which also communicates with DB1 (the db to be upgraded) and so when i migrate my DB1 to SQL 2005, i will have to change my DB2 packages also (although the change will be minor). Now considering that in future I might also migrate my DB2 to SQL 2005 I wanted to know what will be the right approach to follow. One is to modify the DTS packages of DB2 to accmodate the change in connection and the other is to migrate the DTS packages of DB2 also to SSIS.

Can anyone help me with this one.

Thanks in Advance

Migrating SSIS Packages To Production And Job Scheduling

Apr 10, 2006

I have migrated several (7) DTS packages to SSIS in a development environment. In this environment these packages all work as designed. I am now in the process of placing the .dtsx files on the production server and scheduling jobs around them.

I am encountering problems in 3 of these 7 packages. I get the following error:


Message
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User <domainuser>. The last step to run was step 1 (Create and Transfer Credentialling Data).
This is not what I would call very informative. I have opened the dtsx files in question in BIDS on the production server and each has the following error reported:

Error loading <name>dtsx; Failed to decrypt protected XML node "PassWord" with error 0x8009000B" Key not valid for use in specified state." You may not be authorized to access this information. This error occurs when there is a cryptographic error. Verify that the correct key is available.
I have looked at the package setting "Protection Level" and all seven packages have the same setting: EncryptSensisitveWithUserKey
Each of the connections within the packages have been defined to utilize Windows Authentictation. And the jobs are set to run under the SQL Agent Account.
What I find most puzzeling is that each of these packages are defined exactly the same and some work correctly and others do not.
Thanks for taking the time help me with this issue.

SQL 2012 :: Scheduling Packages Parallel And Retry On Failure

Jun 1, 2015

I come from other ETL tools (Oracle Warehouse Builder, BODI, BODS & DataStage) and i'm having trouble finding the best practice for scheduling a collection of packages to be processed parallel en retry those that fail. I created a staging project which contains all the packages (50) that extract data from 1 source system and grouped the packages into 2 sequence containers to make sure that the 'heavy' packages are started first and together in parallel.

I soon discovered that there is no standard option to have one child package retry on failure. Currently if 1 package fails the whole project is retried.
I explored checkpoints as a solution but that seems a dead end when running packages in parallel.

There seem to be 2 solutions for my issue:

(1) create a loop around every EPT with 3 variables (waittime, retry_counter & succes_flag)
(2) create an event handler to keep a list of ID's that failed and enable/disable EPT's based on that list (there's a lot more to it).

Option 1 seems like a lot of bloatware in what i expected to be standard functionality. I'm still investigating option 2.

How do others handle this kind of scheduling? Is it so different with SSIS that i'm approaching this incorrectly ?

Package Configuration, Parent-child Packages And Job Scheduling

May 3, 2007

Hi,

I've found this problem that when I change settings in my configuration file it does not automatically apply to all child packages which uses the same configuration file if run from a job in SQL Server Agent. I need to open the package and save it again from BIDS. I use one "load group" package to execute all other packages.

Is there a way from the job configuration to set a setting so the package allways will have the newest configuration?

DTS Legacy And SQL 2005

May 30, 2006



I am in the process of migrating to a new SQL 2005 server. I have a number of DTS packages on my SQL2000 server, approximately 200, that are used on a daily basis. I used the migration wizard to migrate the packages from the 2000 server to the new 2005 server however there are issues with the way some were brought over. I would like to have all of the packages moved from the 2000 to the 2005 server and appear under Legacy DTS so that I can run them as 2000 DTS packages unitl I have a chance to correct the issues.

Here is where my question lies. The migration wizard migrates upgrades all of the packages. How do I move them from the one server to the other and perserve their 2000 DTS format? The servers are on 2 separate boxes with different instance names. Everything I've read tells you how to run the legacy packages but nothing seems to explain on to move them.

Any help would be appreciated

DTS Import - Error Handling And Scheduling- SQL Server 2000

Mar 10, 2002

Hi,
I would like to transfer data from an oracle database to SQL server database 2000. I am using DTS Export/ Import Wizard for this purpose.
My queries are:
1. How can I write the write the Start time, End time, data records that failed to a log file with minimal amount of coding. (I found that Active X scripts can be written although the coding is quite complex).
Can I get some kind of pointers to simple coding that can ensure I log time of run of DTS and errors if they occurred.

2. There is an error log written by DTS, but this is written only if an error occurs and the details of error are not written. I am looking to log successful transfers too. Can the DTS package be modified, with minimal code to achieve this objective?

3. I tried scheduling the DTS through the Edit window that SQL Server 2000 provides but am not able to change the time of schedule.
How do I schedule it?


Thanks,
Karthik

Moving Sql 2000 DTS Packages To Sql 2005 Standard Edition

Feb 23, 2006

I have been tasked with upgrading around 150 SQL Server 2000 DTS packages to SSIS in SQL Server 2005 standard edition. I made a backup of the 2000 database upon which the DTS packages operate and restored it to the SQL 2005 server. So far, so good. I have the database in place. Now I need to get the DTS packages themselves into the SLQ 2005 server. I think I need to check my install and make sure that I have the SQL Server 2000 DTS services installed on the SQL 2005 server. I can do that.

However, I wonder what would be the most effective way to physically get the packages from the SQL 2000 server to the SQL 2005 server. Should I use structured storage files? If so, how do I go about opening them in SQL 2005 in order to save them to SQL server 2005?

I should mention that these packages make heavy use of ActiveX scripting so I am looking at rewriting them from scratch to be SSIS packages. I just need the packages on the SQL Server 2005 box so I can make sure I am creating exactly the same functionality in 2005 as existed in SQL server 2000. Each DTS 2000 individual package tends to be fairly simple and I think I can greatly improve the process by consolidating them.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

2000 DTS Packages Corrupted By 2005 Client Tools?

Jan 12, 2006

Hi,

I have many sql 2000 DTS packages that I support from my development workstation  running v2000 sp4. Packages are altered on the development machine and then go through a normal release mechanisms to production via testing servers etc.

I have recently installed the client tools for SQL Server 2005 on my desktop to evaluate the product.  The 2005 DB instance is running on a seperate server.

So, I have dev edition of sql 2000 and 2005 client tools (including BI Dev studio etc) on my workstation.

I have recently had to make changes to a 2000 DTS package and used my 2000 enterprise manager to do so. No Problem- saved and tested fine on my workstation. 

But when I try and release it to another server, or open the package using enterprise manager from another machine that does not have sql 2005 installed - I get an error message 'Unspecified error'.  This I've seen before when trying to open packages created in v2000 , using v7 or where the service packs are different between machines.

Digging around my workstation and comparing some of the DLLs I know to be required to distribute DTS  packages (from RDIST.txt) it seems that some of the SQL 2000 dll files have been updated by my 2005 installation. 

E.g

DTSFFILE.DLL on my machine is 2000.85.1054.0 whilst on any 'clean' 2000 machine is at version v2000.80.760.0

Surely it cant be right that SQL 2005 has newer versions of components for SQL 2000 than is available with the latest SP for the actual product! Especially considering that the installation of 2005 does not even allow you to edit 2000 DTS packages through the management studio without a 'special' download' of the feature pack,(whihc by the way does not work very well either)

So am I to conclude that you can not run side by side installations of SQL 2000 and 2005 on a single machine and expect 2000 to run as it did previously
